Harbour Master John Lawrence harbour.master@tscc.net

John hails from merry old London, England, where he learned to sail in his boyhood with the Sea Scouts. In 1968, he emigrated to Canada, bringing his wife, four-year-old daughter, and his love of sailing. John sailed his Mirror dinghy on Georgian Bay with his growing family. After taking the keelboat course at TS&CC, he sailed club boats before purchasing his current boat, which he sails and races weekly with his crew. As the TS&CC Harbour Master, he deals with moorings, haulout, and launching of club boats.
